HIGHLIGHTS OF TECHNICAL SKILLS Cloning, bacterial expression, mammalian expression involving generating stable cell lines, adherent and suspension cell lines, surface expression of proteins and cells lines that secrete proteins, and cell line development. Expertise in all aspects of gene expression. Adept at generation of highly-expressive cell lines. Proficient in cell line characterization and protein quantitation methods, such as FACS and ELISA. Competent in various assay development methods. Performing stability testing and media optimization, as part of cell line development, to .increase titers at various scales from shake flasks to bioreactors). Developing additional processes in cell culture, such as expression of adherent cell lines on micro-carrier beads. Freeze-thawing cells in novel way on beads to increase productivity. Facilitating cell line optimization in WAVE and Applikon bioreactors. Beta testing of new bioreactor for perfusion from Sepragen. Scaling up to >300L in WAVE bioreactors internally, overseeing technical transfer of processes to contract manufacturing organizations (CMO). Creating process to scale up from bench scale to 100L and to 2000L bioreactors to produce GMP grade proteins. Generating proteins from cell lines for developing cell-based assays, crystallization efforts, proof of concept, validation of certain targets, high-throughput screening of compounds as specific inhibitors for various targets. Neutralizing or blocking antibodies for in-vivo studies in animal models. Performing PK studies in animals and toxicology studies in rats and monkeys for phase 1 and phase 2 clinical trials in humans.

International Classification:
C07K 14/47 A61K 47/68 A61P 35/00
Abstract:
This invention is directed to fusion proteins comprised of one or more protein sequences of the glioma pathogenesis-related (GLIPR) family of proteins coupled to non-GLIPR protein sequences, to nucleic acid constructs and vectors comprising encoding fusion proteins and peptides, and to methods related to fusion proteins and peptides in the treatment of diseases. In particular, the invention is directed to GLIPR sequences coupled to sequences of antibodies and/or other immune system proteins and peptides, and methods related to fusion proteins in the treatment of prostate cancer.

International Classification:
C12N 15/85 C07K 16/28
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to chimeric post-transcriptional regulatory elements (PRE) and vectors useful for expressing a protein in a cell. The PRE contains alpha, beta and optionally gamma subelements selected from different native PRE sequences and are discovered to be more potent than their native counterparts.
